Double-transformation: I, Sakura Haruno! Will crush the pirates!

"Perhaps from the very first time I met you, everything was already arranged by fate."

"destiny?"

Sakura glanced disdainfully at the sky, "Isn't that just a pile of dog poop?"

Black lightning roared in the void, and the aura of a hegemon stirred up the sea, creating towering waves.

The sky seemed to be affected by this atmosphere as well, with dark clouds gathering rapidly and the storm billowing the sails of Leviathan.

"We're pirates, the freest people in the world! How can we be so foolish as to let fate dictate our lives?"

Sakura reached out to Tiger and clenched her fist, as if she were holding something tightly in her hand.

"If you won't stand by my side, then I'll seize fate!"

Fisher Tiger sensed her rebellious spirit and gaped, speechless.

Behind her, Guina and Leviathan also sat down with smiles on their faces.

"So, will you join us, Fisher Tiger?"

Sakura spread her five fingers, her fair palm loosely clenched, as if containing the entire world within.

"Then please take good care of me, who is so foolish."

Fisher Tiger raised his hand and grasped Sakura's.

Sakura grinned, turned around, and shouted to the two people behind her, "The party's starting!"

Leviathan and Kuina linked arms and happily raised their fists.

"Oh!"

Naval Headquarters: A warship that had sailed a week in the Western Sea slowly entered Crescent Square.

Later, inside the headquarters building.

Sengoku sat at his desk with a gloomy expression, his eyes fixed on Kizaru.

"Can she really do that?"

Kizaru, casually trimming his nails on the sofa, said, "Look at what you're saying. As someone who was there firsthand, and with the intelligence from the General Staff, isn't that reliable enough?"

"Then why didn't you arrest her, you bastard? You even let the Other Shore Flower gang go!"

Zhan Guo roared, slamming his fist on the table, his facial muscles twitching.

The ability to heal indiscriminately across a wide area is a power capable of easily shaking up a war.

Doctors who can achieve this level of skill are invaluable anywhere, which explains why world governments don't even allow the issuance of warrants for arrests regardless of life or death.

This is no ordinary pirate; we must strike hard!

Why not just bring her back and stuff her into the headquarters' medical room, making her treat the wounded day and night? Wouldn't that be wonderful?

"Well, if I went to war with her under those circumstances, my subordinates would be wiped out, not to mention that the ship's abilities were also effective against me."

Kizaru casually picked up his teacup and took a small sip of the hot tea.

Sengoku's brows were furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly, his eyes fixed on the latest intelligence sent by the intelligence department in front of him.

Including Kizaru's account and the bounty updates from the General Staff, the current status of Sakura Haruno and her pirate crew is as follows:

The Leviathan, a large speedboat that ate the Bird-Bird Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Night Sparrow form, has a bounty of 550 million Berries.

Fisher Tiger, a fish-man adventurer, the second-in-command of the slave emancipation movement, and the former captain of the Sun Pirates, has a bounty of 380 million Berries.

The eleven-year-old swordswoman and demon sword wielder, Shimotsuki Kuina, has a bounty of 80 million Berries.

Finally, there's the captain who led this gang of madmen—Sakura Haruno, with a bounty of 1.24 billion Berries.

The total bounty on the group has reached an astonishing 2.25 billion Berries.

Without a doubt, after experiencing rapid expansion of its members, a brand new and extremely threatening pirate crew has taken shape, even though they only have four members.

"Let's see how the world government plans to handle this."

The Warring States period shook its head helplessly.

After all, the World Government took over many of Sakura Haruno's situations from the beginning, so they can't just suddenly hand them over to the Navy to handle, right?

At the same time, in Mary Geoise, the Five Elders also received a report on this mission.

"As expected, Sakura Haruno got involved, and Fisher Tiger was rescued by her and even joined her pirate crew!"

Topman Vochuli splattered the brand-new wanted posters on the tea table and sighed, his two large beards twitching.

"And she also declined our invitation."

Izanbaron V. Nassshurou, holding a knife, leaned back on the sofa, a hint of regret in his voice.

"But the Deepsea report says that her blood sample was collected at the scene? How did they do that?"

Marcus Mazsan raised an eyebrow in surprise and looked at the figure leaning on a cane to the side.

“Yes, she left it herself.” Satan nodded to them. “I have ordered Vegapunk to start cloning experiments in Punk Hazard. We’ll have finished products soon.”

Shepard X. Pitt, unusually, sat down on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief: "This way, we can give that person an explanation."

"Then, we should discuss how to deal with this guy!"

"How about... we hand it over to the navy?"

"Seconded!" *4

Chapter 190 The Emperor Candidates

Sabaody Archipelago, a rip-off bar.

"Judging from your posture, are you preparing to head to a new world?"

On the bar stool, Riley held the rim of the glass between his fingers and gently shook it, the ice cubes clinking against the glass.

"Yes, we need a piece of land and wait for the right opportunity."

Shanks, sitting opposite Rayleigh, put down his glass and turned his head to look at his wanted poster on the table beside him.

His gaze lingered on the bounty of 1.04 billion Berries written below, and he smiled.

"How was your trip around the world? Did you see any scenery that stirred your heart?"

Rayleigh glanced at Shanks' severed arm out of the corner of his eye, but tacitly refrained from mentioning it.

"How should I put it? I've come to understand myself and many things more clearly."

Shanks raised his hand and pressed it against his severed arm, a look of frustration on his face. "It's a bit of a pity, though, that I couldn't snatch the treasure I wanted!"

Rayleigh glanced at the junior in front of him with some pity. Judging from this person's personality, they probably would never be able to get along in this lifetime.

"I heard someone caused a major incident in the West Sea, and now they're being called emperor candidates along with you!"

Rayleigh, without making a sound, quietly gave a reminder.

She raised her hand and pushed a wanted poster and a newspaper in front of Shanks, the pink-haired girl on the poster still looking radiant.

Unexpectedly, Shanks picked up the wanted poster and sighed dejectedly, "I didn't see her do anything big, so why is her bounty rising so fast? It's even higher than mine now!"

Seeing the other person's reaction, Rayleigh downed the wine in one gulp and clutched his head in anguish.

—You little rascal, prepare to be single for life!

"A great victory for the World Government, a candidate for Emperor of the Sea..."

Sakura held the newspaper in her hand and read out the headline of the front page word by word.

This newspaper contained a detailed account of what had happened on Forchart Island.

It's just that there's been a slight artistic embellishment.

The story is roughly about evil pirates attacking Forsythe Island, and the righteous navy and agents fighting bravely and repelling them.

"In which parallel universe did this happen?"

Kuina's lips twitched slightly.

But when she saw the wanted poster tucked inside the newspaper, she immediately jumped for joy: "I'm wanted! That's great!"

Sakura crossed her arms and nodded with satisfaction. "Hmm, Kuina has become a good girl who knows how to smoke, drink, and get tattoos."

"What a bastard!"

Leviathan leaped up from below the deck and delivered a karate chop to Sakura's head, causing her head to shake violently.

"Here's a wanted poster for Little Leviathan, would you like to take a look?"

Tiger pulled a wanted poster from the hidden compartment and handed it to Leviathan.

After reading the information on the wanted poster, the petite ship spirit was moved to tears: "Finally, finally I'm rid of this ridiculous pet title!"

"By the way, where is Sakura-nee's wanted poster?"

After having had her fill of commotion, Kuina stopped and curiously searched through the lining of the newspaper.

But after turning every page, she still hadn't gained anything.

"Of course it's with me."

Sakura grabbed the brown wanted poster and handed it to Kuina, who was like a cat.

The other two, equally unable to contain their longing, gathered around the girl and stopped to watch.

"1.2 billion Berries, dead or alive?"

The screams of the group echoed throughout the speedboat, their sounds escaping over a line of summary text in a newspaper.

Although this pirate crew of only four people seems insignificant, and they haven't even entered the Grand Line yet.

However, it must be acknowledged that they, like the Red-Haired Pirates, possess strength surpassing that of the vast majority of pirate crews.

Therefore, as the author, I dare to assert that a more special name can be used to distinguish these two pirate crews from ordinary pirate crews.

—Emperor Candidate!

This line of commentary, handwritten by Morgans, editor-in-chief of the World Economic News, was printed in the newspaper and carried around the world by Newsbird.

The whole world was in an uproar over this.

The common people were shocked by the growing power of the pirates and were also filled with deep fear.

The pirates, on the other hand, were ambitiously sharpening their weapons, waiting for even greater chaos to come.

The three emperor-like pirates who reigned supreme at the pinnacle of countless pirates finally faced two formidable young challengers after several years.

Marineford, Naval Headquarters Building.

"Are you kidding me? You were the ones who were covering it up at first, and now you're going to dump this mess on us?"

Inside Sengoku's office, the man who commanded all the navy roared hoarsely into the receiver of the Den Den Mushi.

"Watch your tone, Sengoku. The navy is nothing more than a facade for the government."

"That woman was a pirate to begin with; it's your duty as the Navy to do this!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the Den Den Mushi clicked shut, ruthlessly wiping away the connection.

"hateful!"

The sound of a table being smashed to pieces echoed, and no one dared to enter the marshal's office that day.

The new world, the country of Wano.

"Mr. Kaido, have you read today's newspaper?"

The iron ornaments all over his body jingled as he walked up to Kaido.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Such a brat is a thousand years too early to challenge me!"

Kaido, drunk and intoxicated, smashed the gourd in his hand.
